Expert Review
Produced by Abel Salinas Pacheco of Arashi Farm, entirely of the Typica Mejorado variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan that offers both retail and wholesale coffee. For more information, visit www.gkcoffee.com.tw or email [email protected]
Notes
Complex and harmonious, intriguing and enigmatic as it unfolds, this washed Ecuador cup — which took first place in the Cup of Excellence this harvest year — is worth seeking out for its bright, confident aromatics that are born out in the rich, multi-layered cup.
Bottom Line
A Light roast from Saraguro and Loja, offering nan. On the palate, it delivers nan, with a nan. Rated 96/100, it’s a standout for well-balanced flavors.
